About the Author

Ever since Daniel heard about Airbnb in 2012, he’s been addicted. He loves the simple idea of opening up your extra space to a stranger from anywhere in the world who becomes a friend for life.

Daniel worked in finance at Airbnb until 2015, then in local operations until early 2016. Since then, he’s started an Airbnb property management company he operates remotely from wherever he is in the world, became a Superhost, and a super guest (650+ days slept in Airbnbs). He lives, eats, breathes, and dreams Airbnb. Follow his journey.
